Si ustedes visitan habitualmente mi blog recordarán una receta que hice de cupcakes de arándanos muy saludables y livianos que adapté de la revista Eating Well, una receta de Stacey Fraser, estos cupcakes tambien son de su creación y como los encontré tan buenos que se los comparto,son unos cupcakes de vainilla con una cubierta de chocolate muy buena.

1 cucharadita de extracto de vainilla
1/2 taza de salsa de manzanas sin azúcar
(o yogurt simple)
1 huevo grande
1 yema de huevo
1 tarro de leche evporada que se usará parte en la masa y
parte en el frosting

Frosting
1/2 taza de harina normal
1 pizca de sal
250 grs, de chocolate en barra (bitter u otro)

Los cupcakes

Distribuir el batido en las capsulas de papel que estan en la bandeja de muffins.
Llevar a horno de 20 a 22 minutos.
